Mental illness is said to be experienced by at least 20% of the population. Unfortunately, the signs, symptoms, and treatment realities are not often taught or portrayed accurately on TV, in movies, or on social media. Check out the credible sources below and help destigmatize mental illness by sharing the facts. Also, take a minute to do a self-assessment or complete about someone of concern.
